[ LOOKS AT HIM SO SADLY??? ]

First of all, when you're not in a life or death circumstance, you can live peacefully a little easier. You know... Go on a series of dates? Maybe bake some bread?

To be honest with you, all of this is beyond me... So I feel like my opinion isn't worth much. I want to believe in us, though.

[tombtaker]

Do I seem as if I'm the peaceful existence full of dates and bread type?

[ i mean. maybe. he could be? ]

If you're asking me, your opinion is more important than any of the rest of your compatriots, so I asked you.

[impatiens]

Definitely. Your specialty would be sourdough. You and Viktor could make the best starter!

[ She decides and assigns him a bread. ]

... Aw... That's so sweet. [ She really is so touched. ] I think—no, we will make it and we will stop this.

[tombtaker]

[ i dont think he's patient enough for bread he has to start smaller. cookies out of a package. ]

So you imagine we'll be able to go somewhere together?

[impatiens]

[ she has faith in him that she shouldn't have honestly ]

Go somewhere? I think... We can go anywhere at the end of this, but it depends on our choices.

[ And not the whims of fate. ]

If that's what you mean.

[tombtaker]

That's what I mean.

[impatiens]

... We are in some haunted ship flying beyond the stars, so I think anything is possible.

Are you thinking of not returning home, Mister Tavelle?

[tombtaker]

I don't think that I can. If I do, the instant I return I will be under thumb of the Somnovem again. And I doubt they will let me escape a second time.

... There is someone I need to retrieve from there.

[impatiens]

[ She's sympathetic... ]

Then you don't need to go back—after we rescue that person! You two can go somewhere else.

[tombtaker]

That's possible? I imagined-- with the ability you had to kidnap us, surely you could do it intentionally.

[ he was ... kind of freaking out about the possibility of stepping foot in Exandria. ]

... I owe her that much. I don't believe she will care where she goes. I think a fresh start is enough. And then our obligations will be paid.

[impatiens]

Oh... I still have no idea how you guys were taken.

[ They were delivered to the Eudora like sardines, but i guess they now can just surmise that assimilated strings were pulled. ]

You ever heard about aliens in "modern" media? People get abducted by getting beamed up—levitated—by a smaller spaceship. We can maybe do that?
